kultivovaný

kultivovaný is a Czech adjective derived from the verb kultivovat, itself borrowed from the Latin word cultivate or the French cultivar. The term generally means “cultivated” or “tended”, denoting something that has been deliberately grown or improved through human intervention. In a biological context it is often applied to plants, crops, or microorganisms that have been bred to enhance desired traits such as yield, disease resistance, or organoleptic qualities. Similarly, the word is used in references to cultured cultural activities or refined social manners, indicating a cultivated or cultivated nature in people's behaviour or artistic expression.

The concept of kultivovaný occupies an important place in Czech agricultural literature, especially in discussions of plant breeding, horticulture and agronomy. It is frequently contrasted with wild or native forms (divoký), with which it differs in that the former has undergone selective human influence. In the realm of culture, the adjective underscores a cultivated upbringing, well‑educated taste, or sophisticated aesthetics. The word also appears in everyday Czech speech to describe refined habits or polished manners. Overall, kultivovaný encapsulates a wide range of contexts where intentional improvement or refinement—whether biological or social—is carried out methodically by humans.
